世界首个蝙蝠侠主题4D过山车

 　　Six Flags is building what it says is the world's first first 'four-dimensional free fly' roller coaster at its park in San Antonio, Texas.

　　六旗（世界上最大的主题公园连锁品牌）正在美国德州的圣路易斯六旗乐园打造据称是世界上首个“4D自由飞翔”过山车。

　　Batman: The Ride is set to open in July next year and will spin riders upside down on rotating seats that flip¹ independently of the coaster's direction of travel.

　　蝙蝠侠飞车将于明年7月开放，其翻转式座位可随轨道方向独立翻转，让乘客整个倒置过来。

　　It will reach speeds of up to 54mph and drop from 105 feet in the air.

　　过山车的最高时速将达到54英里每小时，可带乘客从105英尺的高空垂直俯冲而下。

　　Riders will first be taken up a 105 feet vertical² climb before the coaster begins its twisted path down wards³.

　　在进入高低起伏的下行轨道前，过山车将首先垂直爬升至105英尺。

　　The seats will flip riders upside down six times throughout the ride, as the cars also plunge⁴ over beyond vertical drops on a one minute, forty second ride that is sure to require a strong stomach.

　　1分40秒的乘坐过程中，座位会把乘客翻转6次，车厢还会多次超过90度垂直俯冲，乘客必须得做好充分的心理准备。

　　Riders will experience 4G as they are thrown around the coaster's twists and turns in five cars that accommodate eight passengers each.

　　过山车共有5节车厢，每节车厢能够容纳8名乘客。迂回曲折的轨道将带给乘客惊险刺激的4D乘坐体验。

　　The 'free fly' system that flips⁵ the seats upside down is designed to give riders the feeling of weightlessness as they are thrown around the track independently of their direction of movement.

　　“自由飞翔”系统可将座位倒转，并让其跟随轨道方向独立翻转，为乘客营造出一种失重的感觉。

　　It is an attraction with similarities to the Green Lantern: First Flight ride at Six Flags: Magic Mountain in California.

　　这一设施与六旗魔术山主题公园的《绿灯侠：首次飞行》过山车有异曲同工之妙。

　　Park president Martin Bozer told KHOU: 'Every year we continue to provide more and more innovative⁶ technology and excitement for our park guests and season pass holders⁷.

　　园长马丁?博兹告诉Khou网：“每年我们都会为乐园游客和购买季票的游客提供更加惊险刺激、更具创新技术的游乐设施。”

　　BATMAN: The Ride is an entirely⁸ new concept in ride engineering and will provide a sensory⁹ experience like no other coaster.
